Effectiveness: Penciclovir is effective in reducing the severity and duration of herpes outbreaks when applied topically to the affected area. It works by inhibiting the replication of the virus.
Side Effects: Common side effects of penciclovir cream include mild pain or stinging at the application site. Some people may experience itching, rash, or dry/cracked lips. These side effects are usually mild and transient.
Systemic Absorption: Penciclovir cream is generally well-tolerated because only a small amount of the drug is absorbed systemically through the skin. However, individuals should avoid applying it to mucous membranes or areas near the eyes to minimize absorption.
Allergic Reactions: While rare, some people may experience allergic reactions to penciclovir. Signs of an allergic reaction include rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.
Drug Interactions: Penciclovir cream is primarily applied topically, which reduces the likelihood of significant drug interactions compared to oral medications. However, it's always important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The safety of penciclovir during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established. Consult with a healthcare provider before using penciclovir if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Precautions: Penciclovir cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Wash your hands before and after applying the medication. Do not cover the treated area with bandages or other dressings unless instructed by your healthcare provider.
Resistant Strains: Prolonged or frequent use of penciclovir cream may lead to the development of resistant strains of the virus. To minimize this risk, use penciclovir as directed by your healthcare provider and avoid using it more often or for longer than prescribed.
| Rank | Probiotic | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| species | Lacticaseibacillus paracasei | Reduces |
| species | Parabacteroides distasonis | Reduces |
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
